Minimum QRP is full of ideas for the radio amateur who wants to get the most from their modest station and antenna. Apply its tested strategies today for more success on the bands, whether you're into portable operating, DX, awards, contests or more. While pitched at the QRPer, those with 100 watts and simple antennas will also find much of interest. It's for a broad audience, including newcomers, the more experienced and those returning to amateur radio.
After touring various facets of QRP, Minimum QRP gives some forthright but often forgotten advice on equipment. Is the commercial, kit or homebrew transceiver you're considering sufficient to give spontaneous contacts almost any time you switch on? This book guides you through the choices out there, with an emphasis on affordable and effective.
Antennas are next. One size and type does not fit all. The right choice depends on location, style of operating and activity patterns in your area. Some suggestions, based on the author's extensive experience of restricted space and portable QRP, are given here.
Some QRPers have suitable equipment and antennas yet don't make as many contacts as they should. Reasons for this can come down to choice of band, understanding local activity and operating technique. Whether you're after DX or a local ragchew, Minimum QRP gives some crafty tips on working the most with the least.
Nearly every aspect of amateur radio can be done with five watts. Indeed QRP can sometimes add to its enjoyment due to simple to construct and lightweight equipment. If you get bored with one facet there's always another. You'll find information on such QRP sub-interests, such as weak signal modes, VHF and pedestrian mobile in this book.

Mr. Parker brought his considerable enthusiasm, knowledge and conversational ability to the Kindle community and in so doing continued his excellent contributions to amateur radio. I've long been a subscriber to his YouTube channel and web postings where he demonstrates practical applications of ham radio and this practicality transfers well into electronic print. This book is a very good overview of QRP and very well could serve as a standard how to guide for assembling and operating a low power ham station. 73 AF4BProduct details

Minimum QRP Doing more with under five watt amateur radio Peter Parker eBook Reviews
This is a very realistic look a QRP and what you need, know, and skill required. Very honest and straightforward from one of the real experts from Downunder. If you are already a active QRPer you will know most of what is written, however, it is excellent reading. Should be enjoyed by all hams who have an interest in operating QRP!!
Excellent intro to QRP with much detail for anyone wanting to get into working in the 5 watts or less world. Peter writes in an interesting and engaging manner and offers many practical useful tips and guidance from his own experiences. He writes on everything from some basic gear recommendations to propagation to how to pack and travel with minimal gear.
This covers way more than you would think. I'd say it's handy for all operators, not just low-power ones. It covers antennas, frequencies, radios, and all sorts of other things.
Peter has done a very good job of covering all of the QRP areas of interest. He even touches on some that are rarely discussed (e.g., pedestrian mobile). Having written a bunch of technical books myself, I know how hard it is to discuss technical topics in an interesting fashion. Actually, this is probably what most distinguishes his work from other QRP books he makes it interesting in a readable way. I also like the fact that he is a die-hard experimenter and has numerous posts on Youtube that are both informative and entertaining and that spills over into this book. For the price of one of those fru-fru coffees you can get hours of reading enjoyment from this book, and learn a thing or two in the process. Good stuff...
This is a great book to read to get started on QRP. It is also great for us old timers who started with vacuum tubes and the first transistor transceivers such as the TenTec Argonaut 505 which were great in their day. It is a very interesting book which covers all aspects of QRP at a level which both newbies and old timers will get a from.

I have recently gotten interested in QRP operation and find there definitely are more nuances than with QRO operation. You cannot simply up the power level, there are other things you can do, though. This is where Peter's book really shines. It is so packed with information it is hard to know where to start. I own a Yaesu FT-817ND and with the information from this book, I know I can make better use of my 817. In fact, since reading it I have favoured operating at 5W or less just to see what I can do. This book is an inspiration and an learning experience all in one.
The Good For me Peter's writing seemed very clear, current and well done. Very current info hasn't been easy for me to find.
The Less Good This ebook had plenty of pictures but I don't remember seeing even one schematic. This was disappointing as I was hoping to see a schematic or two covering some of the simplest stuff. I also had a hard time seeing any schematics on Peter's Youtube site...
I'll have to think more about ordering Peter's antenna book...
